Lockheed Martin awarded contract for AN/UMQ-13 system support

Lockheed Martin Space Systems has been awarded a modification to a previously awarded contract for meteorological data station AN/UMQ-13 (MARK IV-B) system sustainment.

The contract modification, valued at around $7.2 million, was awarded by Space and Missile Systems Center at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

The contract work will be performed in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, with an expected completion date of Oct. 31, 2018.

The Air Force MARK IVB Meteorological Data Station (AN/UMQ-13(V)) System is a meteorological analysis/forecasting tool, using data from both polar (DMSP and NOAA) orbiting and geostationary (GOES, GMS, & Meteosat) satellites. The task is part of a multiphase project of the Air Force.
